Boris Johnson “posted” his draft law on Brex on Tuesday after MPs rejected his plan expected to be signed for three days.
Now EU leaders will consider whether they will offer to extend the Brex deadline that ends on October 31st, the BBC writes, translates Periscopi.
In a letter that Mr. Johnson was obliged to send the bloc after failing to secure support for his deal Saturday, calls for a three-month extension.
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said “was frustrating” to lose the vote exactly when time was passing for legislation.
The opposition party, the labists, have claimed they would agree for general elections if the EU offered time extensions because it would imply that a Brex without agreement would be off the table, so it would not be an option.
However, there are differences with the labist party regarding a second referendum. /Periscope
